Surrealist
Surrealism is very appreciated for its overturning of reality, for its unconventional subjects: it is very interesting, because, so much more than other tendencies, it connects aesthetics and psyche. Its greatest exponent is Salvador Dalì, during the 1900s he realized many artworks with different style, but always connected to a reversal of reality. Some examples are the artworks dedicated to the Holy Bible or to his wife Gala, always represented with colours and details that recall us to a dreaming, unreal dimension.
Aria Carelli focuses on subjects drawn from a fantasy world: the most beloved is “the fat lady”, but we can also find characters floating in an alternative dimension with a whale or a circus-woman riding a multicolour carp. La Pupazza, young street artist, proposes a different world where hearts come out from a traffic lights or a spaghetti dish becomes a person called Asciutta Pasta.
The ultimate contemporary artist Meloniski da Villacidro, with his landscapes and cities, carries the viewer in parallel worlds, uncharted universes where there is only the wildest fantasy. The big ability of an artwork is to connect mind and unconscious and to bring the observer in a different dimension, where there are not any problems, but only powerful colours.
